%X This paper aims to analyze the impact of the economic liberalization on the performance of
gender equality indicators in Colombia. The examination includes multiple dimensions such
as access to labor market, schooling, health services and political participation. As a resource
it was used the database of the United Nations, as well as the statistics of some Colombian
government entities. The results indicate that the opening to foreign markets brought new
opportunities for women to participate in the labor market and to improve their educational
levels. However, they are still victims of gender disparities, which are manifested in terms of
income and employment quality. Women have lower wages than men and are more likely to
work in the less productive sectors. Educational level and economic autonomy are strongly
correlated with health conditions, domestic violence and women´s empowerment.
